True Love, Always Blooms Chapter 1

"Naruto! Hold still!"

In a semi-large apartment, an 18 year old woman with brown hair that went to her shoulder blades was chasing a 3 year old naked kid. He was currently holding his favorite blanket in one hand and his favorite stuffed animal in the other while running away from his mom. "Damn it Naruto! We need to get you ready for the pictures!"

The woman kept chasing after him before she stopped half way and smirked. She knew how to catch him but it was dirty, Then she remembered a crucial detail. She turned around and saw her Boyfriend/Hokage and her best friend sitting on the couch... Laughing hysterically at the attempt that the adoptive mother was trying to do in vain. Rin glared at them while red chakra pooled out from her getting the boys to stop laughing instantly.

"Oh crap." Was all that they were able to say when two chakra tails swung out from behind Rin and grabbed their legs before she tossed them out the window.

She heard their screams until a thud was heard signalling they made it to the bottom floor. She snickered when she remembered she was on the seventh floor. Still having her Jinchuriki chakra from Isobu out, she turned around and quickly extended it and caught the blond haired delinquent who screamed at first but giggled as he was dragged through the air to his mother. "I caught you naruto. Now lets get your clothes on for the photos."

Naruto squirmed in her hold but shortly after gave up as he knew that his mothers hold wasnt going to waver, so he tried to plead. "but mama... I dont wanna."

"You can get Ramen if you go without trouble." Rin said as she smirked when she felt his body stiffen but also go limp. He gave up the fight and did whatever his mother wanted so that he can go get ramen with his mom. He put on his clothes with no more hassle making Rin smile. "Oh god you are adorable. Come on lets go meet up with Uncle Kakashi and Obito."

Rin got a quick peck on the lips by Naruto as she picked him up. She held him close as she also grabbed his favorite stuffed animal and grabbed her purse. She opened the door to the apartment and saw Obito and Kakashi there holding their heads while groaning. Rin scolded them as she turned around and proceeded to lock the door as Naruto laid his head down on his mom's shoulder and fell asleep.

Rin turned around after locking the door and flicked both their foreheads erupting ow's from both men. "You know, No Hokage had to go through this treatment." Obito complained getting Rin to sweetly laugh.

"You clearly forgot how Kushina was with Minato Sensei. Every Hokage has a woman he loves. But that same woman is feared by him." Rin said with a sweet tone that scared the boys incredibly bad as they sighed. Kakashi and Obito followed behind Rin to the pictures.

Naruto was in the field with his Uncle Kakashi after he ate Ramen where Kakashi had him practice Taijutsu against a wooden post while Rin and Obito watched from a distance. Obito was laying down while Rin was sitting on the side of her legs while she looked at Obito.

He was taking a day off from Hokage duties so he could spend his time with girlfriend and hopefully soon adoptive son Naruto. "Rin... We have been dating for an entire year. Do you really think its time for that step? Me being the dad to Naruto?"

Rin smiled but shook her head getting her boyfriend to release a sigh. "Not yet. I know being Hokage is making you stressed. But there's a reason I make sure Naruto is completely out cold before we do anything or talk. Cause of the nine-tails being sealed in him so early, He has heightened senses like hearing, Sight smell and even taste. He's the reason I cook so well now." Rin said with a giggle. She looked up and saw Naruto perform a perfect kick getting her to smile. She was super happy to have Naruto in her life. Even if she was just 15, The third Hokage made sure she had everything that would help them in the long run. She had taught him alot and even though he'll most likely find out the truth that she wasnt his actual mom, She just hoped he could understand what happened.

Obito looked at her and smiled as he put a hand over hers. "Ill continue to help where I can. But can I be his adoptive father soon? I might die if I cant live with you in a year." Obito said as anime tears rolled down his cheeks as he wrapped his arms around her waist getting Rin to giggle at the motion. Rin looked back up at Naruto who was furiously punching the post sloppy and smiled at the motion.

~Time skip 4 years~

Naruto was punching the same post at an incredible speed while Kakashi watched him. Naruto was slamming his fists so hard into the post that he started to bleed. He was stressed and needed to let off a lot of steam.

Naruto was 7 so that meant he would start his life of being a Shinobi in 30 minutes with his first day at the academy. He knew what to expect from the academy with his mom, step-dad and Kakashi all being the legendary team that was was trained under the 4th Hokage known as the yellow flash. He stopped punching the post when he saw Kakashi's fist above the post and immediately got onto the ground and began doing 25 pushups. Shortly after he was done with that did Kakashi stop him all together.

"Alright little one, We have to call it quits today." Kakashi said as he took out a kunai after realizing the time. He knew what was about to happen but didnt know what to do. Naruto looked confused as to why he was acting that way.

"Uncle Kakashi, why do we have to stop? And why do you have a kunai?" Naruto asked. Kakashi got into a crouched position looking around with both eyes wondering where she was.

Kakashi got Naruto behind him as he spun around hearing quick movements in the trees around them. "Its your first day of school, I had to bring you home 10 minutes ago... And as to why I have the kunai..."

Naruto's eyes widened when he said he was late in bringing him home. He ducked and held his hands on top of his head uttering a single word before he dropped, "MOM!"

Suddenly Kakashi witnessed several traps go off with several kunai shooting at him at once, making his eyes go wide in a panic. Kakashi in a split second took out a second kunai and quickly and effectively deflected all the kunai but let his guard down when he focused on the kunai.

"Hello Kakashi." He heard from behind him as he started to sweat drop at the murderous intent in the woman behind him. Kakashi turned around slowly seeing the pregnant Rin glaring back at him with what seemed to be an ONI demon mask in the background making Kakashi even more scared. "You know the punishment. Lean forward."

Naruto knew what she was going to do but quickly stood up and stood in front of her. "NO MOM! It was my fault! Im just nervous and wanted to train alittle more." Kakashi took the time to sigh a relief but got glared at murderously by Rin.

Rin put her hands on her hips as she looked at her son. "You could have came to me you know, I was a shinobi too."

Naruto chuckled nervously as he scratched the back of his head, with a big smile he looked at his mom. "Yeah I know, but I didnt want to trouble you mom. I need to do certain things on my own. I just needed to release some stress. Im sorry."

Naruto quickly but gently hugged Rin who hugged back with a smile on her face while looking up at Kakashi. "You're lucky Naruto likes you so damn much Hatake. Next time you wont escape my flick. Now do me a favor and bring him to school? Obito was a dumbass and forgot his lunch."

Rin smiled as she let go of Naruto but gave his cheek a tiny pinch making him groan commenting on him not being a baby. She then reached into her back that she had on and pulled out a scroll for him. "Yeah I can take him. Need anything from the store? I need to grab a few things and was wondering if you needed something like blankets or something."

He watched as the mother and son kept bickering but Rin chuckled as she looked at Kakashi, "No I dont need anything. I can handle myself, Im only 6 months pregnant." Rin said as she rubbed Naruto's head as she pulled up the strap of her purse before turning away. "Remember Kakashi, straight there. He's all signed up for Iruka, If he asks for a mask DO NOT GIVE HIM ONE!"

Rin started to walk away leaving a scared Naruto and Kakashi behind, "Mom's scary. I dont know what it is but I hope my future wife isnt like that."

Kakashi sweatdropped at the comment as the two began to walk to the academy, "Oh trust me Naruto. She will be. If she isn't like that to you then it wasnt meant to be. Your significant other needs to snap you to attention, Make you strive for something better. Nothing that will make you worse." Kakashi said as they entered the busy streets of Konohagakure. Naruto smiled as he looked at everyone, but the smile faded as he saw the looks of guilt and sadness looking at him.

He never understood why the looks he got were guilty or if they were cause of something else but he ignored them and kept moving forward like he always did with his head up high. Kakashi had to applaud the kid for his determination as they made their way to the academy. Ever since that night, Not one villager made it so Naruto was upset or left out cause of guilt, They were made aware of this the day Obito took office.

~Flashback 7 years ago~

Obito was on top of the hokage tower with Kakashi next to him along with Rin and an infant Naruto who was being fed a bottle. Obito looked around seeing the village council and the higher up Shinobi along with 2 ANBU. He took note of Danzo constantly glaring at him with the elderly council but made no move to say anything just yet.

"Alright everyone. Are we ready to address the public?" A new voice called out. Team Minato turned around and saw Hurizen Sarutobi, The third Hokage approaching them in his usual Hokage hat and robe. Everyone nodded while Obito took a deep breathe in and let it out. He knew what needed to be done. Hurizen nodded his head, "Good. Now the order Im gonna do this is this. Obito, You're first up on that list. Im officially naming you the fifth Hokage of Konoha. This will be followed by the events that happened last night. Then the Issue with Naruto and then the uchiha clan."

Obito and Rin nodded while Kakashi remained indifferent to the ideas. He just wanted to make sure Obito was ready for this big jump, however someone spoke up and made him and Obito glare at the person. Hurizen turned around to see Danzo looking at the group with distaste. "What was that Danzo?"

Danzo snapped his head at the Uchiha that spoke up to him. As far as Danzo was concerned, The Uchiha were evil and one talking back to him was a crime. "I said that you shouldn't be named Hokage. You are an Uchiha and not to mention 16. You are too inexperienced. The kid should also be killed for harboring such a beast in him."

Rin growled and took out a kunai but Koharu spoke up. "Listen girl, Do not draw your weapon on us. We dont care who you were studying under we will have you arrested and executed is that clear?!"

Kakashi and Hurizen were about to speak when they felt a ominous surge of power started to flood the air. Hurizen widened his eyes thinking it was the nine tails but when he turned around, He saw Obito glaring the elders down with a different type of Sharingan. It looked ominous and dangerous causing the elders to slowly back away.

"Now you listen here. I dont give a shit what you say about me or Kakashi. But you bring Rin and Naruto into this with threats like that, and Ill kill you both myself. My first act as Hokage will be to burn you 3 too the ground. DO YOU UNDERSTAND?!" Obito commanded with authority befitting a hokage. He made the elders tremble from the power he was irradiating as he glared at Danzo. "As for you. If I find out you have done anything to Naruto or Rin, now or ever. I will crush you myself. Do not cross me. Ill have the entire village eliminate you and the elders."

Rin looked at Obito with a bewildered look. She never thought the nice sweet kid that she knew growing up could become so powerful. It was as if he was a spewing volcano. Kakashi simply looked at his friend and nodded as Hurizen turned to Danzo and the elders.

"Id watch it if I were you. Only reason Im as easy going as I am is cause you were my teammates and classmates before the war. Obito is someone who has been oppressed due to the lack of empathy for the clan that made winning both wars possible. So take heed, Obito will kill you three single handedly if anything happens and I wont stop him from doing it." Hurizen commented as he turned away from the group.

Obito deactivated his sharingan as he continued to glare at them. "Dont forget. If one of you makes a move. All three of you will have execution orders on your heads." Obito turned away. He grabbed Rin's hand and followed hurizen who was looking down at the fully formed crowd.

"EVERYONE LISTEN UP!" Hurizen shouted with a chakra filled voice. Everyone in the crowd stopped talking amongst themselves as they looked up at the Third Hokage and the council. Once Hurizen had everyone's attention, He began to speak with Chakra in his voice so that way he can make sure everyone can hear him. "As many of you are aware. Last night, there was an attack on the Leaf village by a fake Jinchuriki. What you saw last night was not the real nine tails, The real nine tails has been sealed into the fourth hokage's child."

Murmurs began going on throughout the crowd, Many asking who the child was, Where was the fourth hokage and his wife and many other questions. Hurizen let the murmurs happen for a minute before speaking again. "The fourth Hokage and Lady Kushina have both fallen in combat against such a monster. They were unable to kill him but made sure he was gone before they died. However their final act was as follows." Hurizen turned to Rin who nodded her head and stepped forward with Naruto. "This is Naruto Nohara. He is the current wielder of the Nine tails, He is portecting all of you by being his vessel. So please treat him like ahero and not a villian. His parents are The fourth hokage and Lady kushina. However his new mom is Rin Nohara. None of you are allowed to tell him of his real parents. That will be done by the hokage's orders."

Hurizen then took his cap of causing the group below to gasp and start to shout at what was happening, "Silence. I am not going to retake the mantle. Instead, Minato's ward and student he was training will be the Hokage. The very one who protected his team during the third ninja war, The one who fought at Kanabi bridge and won with his team. The very one that made Rin's tailed beast calm and protective... Obito Uchiha."

With that, Obito walked forward and bowed to the crowd as Hurizen put on the hokage cap on top of Obito. Hurizen stepped back as Obito stood up and overlooked the crowd. He could hear the crowds shock and worry. He stayed silent for a while causing Rin to look at him in worry but it went away as Obito began to speak. "I know I am young. I am only 16 and witnessed my sensei bleed out in front of me. I was in a war where I had to take lives at only 11 years old. However, I believe in change and want to change Konoha for the better. i know many of you do not trust the Uchiha and I for one do not blame you. But please, if we stay divided like this, We will always be at odds and this village will go into civil war and will cease to exist. I for one do not wish for that to happen. So please, I beg of you, let us set aside our differences for the betterment of the village. Help each other and lets make Konoha the best village in the world!" Obito shouted raising his fist in the air making everyone cheer.

Kakashi smiled while he noticed Rin with a blush on her face as she looked at Obito with new found feelings. Kakashi smiled as he looked at Naruto in her arms peacefully sleeping and cuddling into her.

~Present day~

Kakashi smiled at the blond boy next to him. He has come far in the time since he started to train him when he was 3. Kakashi thought of what will come of the future for the young blond but decided to focus on the here and now.

He knew that Naruto would have to do a jutsu cause of him not coming from a "known" Shinobi family. The academy knew Rin was his mom and Obito his step-dad but they would still need a jutsu just to see if he could mix the energies at all. which would be easy for the young blond, He didnt know hard jutsu's but simple enough ones he was a master at.

As they made their way to the entrance, Kakashi took note of the different lines. 'Huh, They divided them between clan and civilian. Interesting.' Kakashi witnessed a blonde haired girl perform a mind transfer handsign with her hands before she collapsed to the floor as the man examining her jutsu smiled and looked at his hands and behind him before the girl snapped back awake whule the man looked impressed and did a check mark on his board. 'They are double checking who is more advanced against those who need the training more huh?'

Kakashi and Naruto got in line and waited for their turn to demonstrate a jutsu. Kakashi was thinking of which one for Naruto to use but thats when he heard shouting from behind him. "Naruto!"

Kakashi and Naruto and surprisingly everyone else turned around to see the Hokage, Obito Uchiha arrive on scene with a bright smile. Accompanying him was Rin of course who had a small smile as she looked at Obito forgetting his authority and just being regular Obito.

Naruto's smile widened as he ran to his dad. Obito enveloped Naruto into a hug as Naruto looked back at the entrance, "Dad?"

Obito crouched down with a hand on Naruto's back as the two looked at the entrance, Obito seemingly knowing what Naruto was about to ask. "Go for it bud. Make sure everyone here knows what you are capable of." Obito said as Naruto's name was called out. Naruto gulped nervously as he walked forward before eyeing a blonde haired girl that did the mind jutsu. His fears seemingly vanished as he stepped up to the plate right in front of boy with black hair.

Naruto gulped but was caught off guard when said boy shot a semi large fireball into the air. "FIREBALL JUTSU!" The fireball shot up to the sky with incredible speed until it exploded with great volume making everyone look at it in shock and amazement.

"OH MY GOD SASUKE!" Everyone shouted. They knew of the infamous Sasuke, Brother of the legendary Itachi Uchiha. Sasuke smirked cockily as he turned to Naruto who watched him go inside. Everyone continued to applaud the young child as he stood in the completion line. Naruto looked down and knew that his previous plan was null in void now.

"You are free to go Naruto." The proctor while Naruto continued to look down. Rin whispered 'Naruto' attempting to walk to him but Obito without saying a word or looking away grabbed her wrist and held her still just pointing at Naruto.

"There he goes." Obito said a fraction sooner. Obito watched as Naruto crouched down running through a few handsigns before holding his hand out. Soon, a spear of pure lightning morphed itself into existence. Shortly after it appeared, Naruto grabbed it and looked into the air.

"LIGHTNING STYLE: THUNDERSPEAR" Naruto shouted as he reeled back the spear and threw it into the air. Naruto held his hand out to where the spear shot through the sky, and closed his hand making a fist before the jutsu exploded. The force of the explosion sent a shockwave of air and small sparks that hit the ground with a greater force then what Sasuke's fireball was able to do.

The proctor had to raise his clipboard up so dust didn't get into his eyes as Naruto looked at everyone who was stunned at the strength of the young blond. Even Rin and Obito were shocked at what they witnessed, Obito assumed he was going to use something easy but he made his own jutsu and judging by the it, it was easily a B-ranked jutsu.

Naruto however waa unfazed and he laid his eyes on a growling Sasuke, who was upset that he was beaten by the blond. No one got away with besting an Uchiha, especially Sasuke.

Naruto didnt say anything since he was the last one to go. He decided that he might as well just stand at the back of the line and stood at attention like a jonin would causing everyone to look away from him in fear and thinking he was weird. Their fear was very noticeable as he could be very dangerous if aggravated.

Rin and the other adults looked at him but looked away when they started to file into the classroom to begin learning. She smiled as the baby boy she loved started to turn into a young man. She turned around grabbing both Obito's and Kakashi's hand. "Come on lets go. We'll see him later."

Rin was happy that her baby boy was about to be a shinobi. She left with her boyfriend and best friend as they went towards the dango shop and then Ichiraku ramen for an early lunch while they discussed what to do for Naruto's birthday that was in a few months.

Its been a few weeks since Naruto had started the academy and so far all the other kids are either hung up on Sasuke Uchiha or have been neglecting everything in class to act cool. Naruto for one was getting annoyed at the lack of care from the other students besides Sasuke. He was the only one actually focused but even then he wasnt so focused thinking he was superior to everyone else since he hailed from the 'Prestigious Uchiha' clan.

Naruto wants to tell him off about how he wasnt the only technical Uchiha. But since Naruto didn't wield the Sharingan, he wasnt a full blooded Uchiha. Though, Obito did train him gruesomely, He maybe 7 but he is high genin level. He has chakra control down and was currently learning from Kakashi and Obito about chakra nature. As of right now, he thinks he has a strong affinity to wind and a secondary affinity to lightning, that is his best guess. Whenever he attempted to use wind jutsu's it was always stronger then normal. Same could be said about lightning but that one could be dumb luck. He knew that those two were his only affinities and he really only needed those two. He didnt want to learn anything else.

"Naruto."

The sudden call of the boy's name surprised him but he looked up at his teacher Iruka to see him kind of annoyed. "Yes Iruka sensei?"

Iruka smiled at the politeness of the boy, however grew a tick mark that he bluntly ignored his question. "Well. I had asked a question, but since your all so bored. Lets go to the yard to practice jutsu and Taijutsu."

This however didnt go as expected as Iruka and Misuki expected since all the kids cheered loudly instead of being ipset. Misuki chuckled to himself, "Yeeeeaaahhhh Iruka. Nice one. So terrifying."

Iruka turned to him and pointed him slightly, "Hush you. Cant back out now. Lets go everyone! To the courtyard!"

XXXXXX

As soon as everyone had stepped outside, Iruka made everyone do some taijutsu sparring with each other by pairing up random partners. He had made it so whenever he paired people, they would be the ones on the same skill level, however he always had to pair the same two people together. Naruto and Sasuke.

He sighed internally as he watched Ino and Sakura fight over who would be able to get a date with Sasuke. He looked around to see Naruto standing on one side while everyone stood on the opposite side with Sasuke.

It was after a few minutes of constant bickering when Iruka stepped in and just declared the match a draw. When they stood out of the ring... mainly next to Sasuke, is when Iruka called the last match. "Naruto and Sasuke. Step forward."

Sasuke smirked cockily cracking his knuckles as Naruto looked blank as they stepped forward. Once they were in the circle, Iruka made them get into their clan stances, for Sasuke it was the Uchiha base while Naruto got into a basic Judo stance.

"YEAH SASUKE KICK HIS ASS!"

"You got this Sasuke!"

"Show that loser whos boss!"

Those were the shouts encouraging the raven-haired boy. Sasuke knew he would win this match, however what he didnt know was Naruto was tired of holding back with everyone. Naruto had made it so whenever they had these spars that he would lose or win according to their record. This time, he wanted to win to show everyone that their 'Sasuke' was no one fancy.

"BEGIN!"

Sasuke wasted no time in rushing into Naruto's personal space which proved to be a mistake. Naruto took his right foot and stepped it outside Sasuke's right foot. As Sasuke threw the first punch, Naruto dodged to the left side and hooked his leg around Sasuke's leg.

Naruto slammed an open palm into his chest while simultaneously yanking his leg up tripping the Uchiha onto his back. Naruto proceeded to unhook their legs and backed off and got back into his stance while Sasuke propped himself onto his elbows glaring at Naruto. "WHY YOU!"

Sasuke got up quickly and charged at him recklessly throwing a hard punch aimed for the blonds left eye, however Naruto rose his right hand intercepting the punch. Naruto stepped on the outside on his right side and slammed a open palm into the boy's side sending him to the ground effectively.

Naruto remained in his form while Sasuke held his side trying to get back the breathe he lost. Naruto didnt have much knowledge in Judo just yet but he was able to grasp the concept just enough for spars inside of school. He would need to learn more styles to make his own style later on in life however for now he had to focus on the fuming Uchiha.

"NARUTO YOU LOSER STOP BEING SASUKE UP!" A pink haired Sakura yelled out. Ino simply replied with a yeah but the Blond jinchuriki simply ignored them and continued to spar with the Uchiha. He heard everyone start to discourage Naruto into just quitting and giving up the match cause he cant win, even though he clearly held the upper hand in the fight.

Sasuke once again got up to his feet and glared at the Nohara with rage in his eyes. He was about to use a jutsu when Iruka called the match, "Match over. Winner: Naruto Nohara!" Iruka stated pointing to the Blond Nohara getting all the girls to whine that their favorite man lost while all the boys were pissed that Naruto ignored them.

However they all plotted secretly to get payback on the blond for ignoring them, but for the time being. Naruto attempted to make the Unison with Sasuke only for the boy to slap his hand away with a backhand. "Get lost loser." Sasuke said as he walked away.

Iruka went wide eyes and began to call the Uchiha out for his behavior but failed to miss Naruto's blank look. He knew this would happen. It was only a matter of time before everyone hated him. Not that he honestly cared. He was here to become a shinobi, not make friends with anyone, though he had hoped his old friend would have sided with him however he was mistaken. She decided to go to the Uchiha which he wasnt surprised about.

Iruka turned to Naruto to apologize however the blond was already back in line to learn the next section. Iruka sighed as he grabbed his clipboard, "Alright everyone. I want you all to show me what you have been learning at home. Ino Yamanaka, You're up first."

Iruka watched as the young platinum blonde girl whined, having to depart from Sasuke but nevertheless walked forward. She ran through her family's signature handsigns before placing her hands into a triangle formation as she aimed at a bird that was in the tree. Focusing her chakra, She shot it forward as she took control of the bird. Ino collapsed to the floor. Iruka widened his eyes as he then felt a bird land on his clip board. He looked down with a smirk as he saw the bird chirping at him. "Very nicely done Ino. And you have perfect control of the small animal. ten out of ten!"

The bird then flew away as Ino woke up. She smiled as she stood back in line. Sakura was called next and she showed off a small earth style jutsu that created a small boulder. There wasn't anything she could do with it besides forming it and deforming it. Iruka gave her a 7 out of 10 for the effort.

Kiba and Akamaru were up next. They both got into a low stance with Akamaru on Kiba's head. Akamaru transformed into a version of kiba but just as they were about to do the jutsu, Iruka stopped them. "Easy killer, Just a simple jutsu is enough. You being able to turn Akamaru into a perfect clone of you is impressive. Ten out of Ten."

Kiba widened his eyes and cheered as he got a perfect score. Iruka smiled as he looked at the list, He would call on Shikamaru but he was too busy napping. He decided this one time that he'll give the boy an 8 out of 10. He knew he could perfectly do his clans jutsu. Iruka looked at his clipboard and called out the next person, "Sasuke Uchiha. Please come forward."

Sasuke smirked as he stepped forward and ran through several handsigns with medium speed. Naruto, who only paid attention to two of the others, decided to watch the young Uchiha but decided to simply ignore it. The jutsu the boy was attemping was a high Jonin level jutsu that would ultimately fail.

"FIRESTYLE: DRAGON HUNT JUTSU!" Sasuke called out attempting to blow a fire dragon out his mouth. Naruto grabbed the girl next to him and jumped back while Iruka and Misuki did similar as Sasuke saw sparks happening in front of him behind the air around him exploded.

"AHHHHHHHH!" The scream from the young Uchiha was heard from miles around along with a massive explosion.

Naruto stopped running after 20 feet seeing smoke heading his way. He ran through hand signs and took in a deep breathe of air,"WIND STYLE:GREAT WIND BREAKTHROUGH!"

Naruto blew the air from his mouth attempting to blow the smoke away but it didn't work like he wanted it too. "SASUKE!"

Naruto turned to the girl he grabbed and he saw it was Ino on her hands and knees as she looked at the billowing smoke. Naruto saw the desperation in her features and before Naruto could do anything, He sighed and pulled out his face-mask that he got from his Uncle Kakashi. "Stay here Ino. Ill go get Sasuke."

Ino widened her eyes and stood up and blocked his path. "No Naruto you cant! For all you know he could be de..."

Ino didn't get to finish her statement as Naruto gently pushed her aside and ran to the area. Getting closer, Naruto took note of the wrecked school wall and fire that was quickly spreading around the area causing even more smoke to be created. Naruto started to cough as he got to the area that Sasuke was last standing but he wasnt there.

Naruto coughed some more before calling out to Sasuke as best he can but the smoke was too thick and dense for him to fully yell. Naruto realized a fact that could help him locate Sasuke, He went towards the wall and went into the burning school, "SASUKE!"Naruto called out as he stepped under a support beam that had fallen. "WHERE ARE YOU!"

Naruto started to cough some more before he himself heard someone else's cough. Naruto widened his eyes as he approached the coughing too see Sasuke leaning against a bunch of rubble. He had a large support beam on top of him which was slowly crushing him. "n-Naruto... *Cough cough* What are you... Uugh, d-d-doing here?"

Naruto stumbled towards the raven haired Uchiha with a smirk under his facemask. "Getting your ass to safety."

Naruto took his mask off and put it over Sasuke's nose to try and ease some of the pain from the smoke inhilation. "You know how to *cough cough* channel chakra into body parts *cough* right?" Naruto asked getting a nod from the uchiha. "*cough* Good, channel them into your biceps and push against the beam while I pull on three." Naruto said as he lowered down and grabbed the semi hot beam. "One."

Naruto and Sasuke began to apply chakra to their biceps, "Two."

The boys slowly started to push/pull against the object when an explosion happened right behind them but Naruto stood still to make sure nothing happened to Sasuke. "THREE! PUSH!"

Naruto with all his might and somehow an added power boost and with the added strength from Sasuke, they were able to throw the Support beam off of Sasuke. Naruto grabbed his hand and lifted him up, slinging his arm around his neck while he held Sasuke up with an arm around the small of his back. Naruto looked around seeing that their way out was what collapsed.

"Didnt think... Ugn, that would happen... did you?" Sasuke questioned as he held his stomach with his free hand. Naruto looked around and saw the classroom door was still open.

"No I didnt but look. Come on buddy." Naruto stated as he began to walk towards the door slowly with Sasuke. The two went into the burning hallway as another explosion happened in the very room they were in, completely encasing the room in rubble. Naruto coughed as he snickered, "Glad we got out when we did." Naruto said as he looked back before walking to the main entrance as best he could but he his legs were starting to get weak, he was getting weaker as time went on. He simply chalked it up to the smoke inhalation as he continued to walk towards the entrance before he realized Sasuke was out cold.

"Crap... I got... to... get out of here." Naruto said as he saw the entrance to the school but collapsed to the ground with Sasuke in his hold still. 'Crap... I cant move.' Naruto thought as he started to cough heavily. Naruto slowly started to close his eyes after a few minutes of dragging Sasuke through the wall but gave up as he couldnt move his arms anymore. "crap... Im sorry Sasuke, I failed... in getting us *cough cough cough* out of here. Im... Sorry Ino *cough* Im sorry... mom for not... making it." Naruto said softly as he started to fade.

"WATER STYLE: WATER HOSE!"

Naruto slowly opened his eyes wide enough to see figures moving into the school with a special kind of mask. He could faintly hear his name from his dad as he saw Obito running to him. Before he fell unconscious, Naruto simply whispered thank you.

XXXXXX

And thats it folks! Let me know what you think! I wanted this fire to sort of make it so Sasuke and Naruto stopped seeing each other as distasteful and hated classmates and more to friends for what the other did. From now on Sasuke will also not be an asshole and actually study. I also want you to picture the school as a large one instead of the super small schoolhouse in the anime.

Next chapter will include the boys being in the hospital and Naruto defending Sasuke's actions from Obito. We will also see a surprise from Ino and Sakura. Let me know your guesses!
